How to Take Astrology Consultation Bookings Online
Astrology consultation bookings online work best when the client can pick the type of reading, see your real free slots, and pay before the call. Viralyze handles all three on one booking link, and its Instagram Auto-DM sends that link the moment a viewer comments a keyword such as "KUNDLI" on your reel. Below is the exact menu, keywords and DM script that suit an astrology practice.
What should an astrologer put on the booking menu?
Put your readings on as main services and your extras as add-ons. Clients choose one reading, tick any add-ons, and the duration and price combine automatically.
A workable menu:
- Birth chart reading, 45 minutes, ₹1,100 (Google Meet or phone)
- Marriage compatibility, 60 minutes, ₹1,800
- Quick question, 15 minutes, ₹400 (WhatsApp call)
- Add-on: Written remedies PDF after the call, ₹300, no extra time
- Add-on: Partner's chart included, ₹600, adds 20 minutes
Formats can differ per service. Many astrologers keep the short reading on WhatsApp call and the long ones on Google Meet so they can share the screen.
How do you stop people asking "fees?" in DMs all day?
Answer the fee question automatically with a keyword. Set an Auto-DM so anyone who comments "FEES" or "KUNDLI" on any post gets the booking page, where every price is visible.
Three keyword ideas for an astrology account:
1. "KUNDLI" on reels explaining a chart placement 2. "REMEDY" on posts about gemstones or mantras, pointing to the written remedies add-on 3. "2026" on year-ahead prediction reels
Keywords are not case-sensitive and cope with Hinglish spellings like "kundali bhejo", so you are not relying on perfect typing from the viewer.
What should the Auto-DM say?
Keep it short, list the readings, and send the link. A sample:
"Namaste! Thank you for your interest. I offer a 45-minute birth chart reading, a 60-minute marriage compatibility session, and a 15-minute quick question call. Pick a slot and pay securely by UPI here, and you will get the call details immediately."
Viralyze varies the wording slightly on each send and can reply in Hindi or Hinglish when the commenter writes in those, which matters for an audience that often does.
Does upfront payment put clients off?
In our experience it does the opposite: it signals a professional practice and removes the awkward payment follow-up after the reading. Payment runs through an RBI-authorised aggregator with UPI, cards and net banking, and Viralyze takes a 0% platform fee.
You decide the cancellation rule. A common choice for astrologers is to allow self-cancellation up to 24 hours before, with the refund going back automatically, and no cancellation after that.
How does the calendar stay accurate across time zones and festivals?
Connect Google Calendar once, and your busy events, days off and buffers are respected automatically. Block Diwali week as a date range, mark "after 2 PM only" on days you do pujas in the morning, and the booking page only offers what is actually free.
Clients abroad see slots in their own time, and each booking creates a calendar event with the client invited, including a Meet link for online readings.
Frequently asked questions
**Can I ask for the client's birth details at booking time?** The booking page collects the client's contact details; ask for date, time and place of birth in your confirmation message or WhatsApp reminder so you have them before the session.
**Can I run readings in Hindi and English from the same page?** Yes. The booking page is one link, and the Auto-DM replies in English, Hindi or Hinglish based on how the commenter wrote.
**Where do all these clients end up?** Every booking, DM and link click becomes a contact in Viralyze with a source tag, exportable to CSV whenever you want.
